Subject 1 was the first participant of Abstergo Industries' experimental phase of the Animus Project.
Sometime around 1981, he was made to view the genetic memories of his ancestor, Aveline de Grandpré, while they were recorded by Abstergo. Eventually, in 2012, the memories were used as the basis for the Abstergo Entertainment video game, Liberation.
Subject 1 died of a seizure whilst in the Animus. Like many others who followed him in the program, his body was disposed of in a nearby river.
In 2013, a research analyst working for Abstergo Entertainment accessed an audio recording of an interview between the Subject and Warren Vidic, head of the Animus Project. In the interview, Vidic expressed that Gerald Blanc may have been the Subject's missing ancestor, but the file abruptly ended shortly after.
